Power Strokes 1994-1997 Upgrades and AftermarketUpgrading or adding OEM or aftermarket equipment to your 1994-1997 Ford F-Series with Power Stroke engine.
Hey Y'll
I just got my first oil-burner 2 weeks ago. I got myself i nice 96 powerstroke. Its got 182k on it. It also got the heavy duty tranny upgrade with a billet torque converter.
It's a great truck, but i want more power. What are some reasonably cheap mods that aren't gonna jepordize my engine life. I'm in college so $ isn't in large supply. I already have a brand new K&N Air Filter setup so i'm happy there. I really don't want to chip it because of EGT stuff and my lakc of guages.
Tell me what direction to go. I don't want extreme power. I just want some extra ponies to show the little rice burners in town what power is. remember i don't want to be throwin down money for a new motor or anything.

well you started off in the wrong direction, the K&N is crap , they will pin hole on you later, however your thougts are in the right place. If it si a drop in then don't feel bad, they're cheap. A Tymar from Dale I is your best bet, about $120 for a full open element filter.
As for chips , your stock injectors do not flow enough fuel to hurt your motor so go for it, jsut don't tow heavy on race settings.
Best thing is to read here heavily, before spendign any more hard earned $$$$$
Look forward to having lots of fun in your new truck

Welcome to the board
Start with a new down pipe the stock one is JUNK!.
Get a telmar filter set up or make one up your self
Check your cat converter it might need a good cleaning J
Gauges are a must.
Once the intake and exhaust are opened up a good chip with wake her up.
And find some stage one injectors, or a set of AD’s
Have fun
Curt

Hey welcome to the world of diesels!! The good news is that you may never drive a gasser ever again. Diesel is the way to go.
The bad news is that you have to be concious of two key aspects of modding your truck:
1. You may never be totally satisfied with how much power your truck has, leading you to more mods.
2. No matter what you do, there is cause and effect. So, if you increase output in one area, it effects the stress or demands on many other systems.
